Colby Hinton

Hi! My name is Colby Hinton, and I am excited to be teaching Physical Education to students in Grades 1 through 6 at WES.

Teaching has always been a true passion of mine. After many years in the Grade 1 classroom, I had the opportunity to transition into the gym, where I get to combine my love of teaching with another area I’m deeply passionate about—healthy, active living. My goal is to help students build confidence, develop skills, and a lifelong love of movement through engaging, inclusive, and fun physical education experiences.

While I’ve stepped out of the traditional classroom, I still bring the same enthusiasm, care, and energy into my teaching. I believe in creating a safe and positive environment where every student feels encouraged to try their best, challenge themselves, and, most importantly—have fun while staying active!

Outside of school, life is busy and full with my husband and our four amazing kids. Much of our time is spent at the rink, but we also enjoy being on the farm, spending time outdoors, camping, watching movies, and playing games together.

I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the WES team and to have the opportunity to help shape students’ physical, social, and emotional development through sport and activity. I look forward to another exciting year of learning and growing together!
